When I was in high school in my small, country, home-town of farmers, I applied for a scholarship to attend a debate camp or law seminar or something like that. I remember there was going to be a lot of discussions going on about, you know, issues or whatnot. I was really excited. The interview for the scholarship was conducted by three middle-aged, grey haired, local men. When asked for a particular issue I thought pertinent to our society I broke into a passionate speech detailing the importance of equal right for homosexuals. The men just stared at me, I don't know if they even ever politely nodded along. That's about all I remember.

Of course, I didn't get the scholarship.
